Title: Testing the Waters
Post by: Chris Calohan on May 17, 2015, 12:03:25 pm

I was out at the beach last night up on the pier and on both sides of me there were the last vestiges of weddings having been performed and the last shots being made. This little girl, I am sure was told by her momma, "don't you dare get that dress wet," which of course prompted her to test those waters.

Wonderful tonalities, facial expressions and moments caught, Chris. Contest-winner worthy. Bravo!

Wonderful. I love the light in the first and the sense of movement in the third.

I like the most the third, but I think that they are beautyful when shown together.

All three are winners and nicely processed.

Beautiful! I like the 3rd one particularly, with the movement.

Great series, Chris. Reminiscent of Erwitt, except Elliott's series always involved a tongue-in-cheek incitation to hilarity. The performance of the little girl is beautiful, especially #3. Bravo!
